Paula Kay Toombs

Sending my condolences. I also was a student at LaVille, Class of 1968. I remember Paula as a very sweet lady.

When Paula and were at Memorial School of Nursing, were were great friends. Sorry to have lost track of each other over the years. I so enjoyed her friendship,

stacie, so sorry to hear of your sweet moms passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. she was so nice while helping my sister with her re-hab, always a smile and showed so much concern, again sorry for your loss- love helen

Paula was the dearest of people, she was selfless and kind. Her love was needed by me as a young girl and she shaped me into who I am today. Thank you for your love Paula. All my love to her children, her family, friends, and her partner.

Matt and family. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know she was loved so much. My prayers are with you all.

Way back when your mom started nurses’ training at Memorial hospital, I was her ”big sis” . A big sis was a nursing student one year older who knew everything we thought, so we could be a great “guidance” to a young “newbie”. What it really did was bring two students together who could laugh & cry together as we tried to make it through nurse’s training.

Paula & I lost touch after she left Memorial but a few years ago reconnected here on Facebook. We shared family updates & life stories. I’m only sorry that we never got that chance to do all of this in person. I know she loved her career in nursing & her family.

I’m sorry for your loss & will keep you in my prayers. Keep your memories fresh by talking about them with family & friends. Paula will always be there with you, just over your shoulder.
